Last week
UWE-3 experienced a severe anomaly connected to the primary radio device. Due to
its redundant architecture UWE-3 was able to recover from this unresponsive
state autonomously.

The first
beacons we received confirmed that the EPS, OBC and ADCS were not affected, but
the status of the primary radio is unclear. In the next days we will analyse the
situation in order to bring the primary radio back to operation. Depending on
the state of the primary radio the communication might be affected sporadically
in the next few weeks during this investigation.

An important
factor for us during this period was the reliable support of the HAM Radio
community why we could quickly exclude our ground segment as a failure source.
Thank you!
